Mr. | Cooper stated very emphatically that he would not use a vulgar- ism in city commission meetings. e e GARRISON BIGHT POLITICS That was certainly bad news about the Internal Improvement Trustees refusing the city purch- ase of the bottom lands in Gar- vison Bight. Of course everyone realized that there was going to be a big Yacht Basin project planned for that area and I'll bet a little digging would show that there was plenty of pressure brought to bear on the II Board. I fail to see how anyone could oppose ‘such a project, providing it is legitimate. Yachting is one of the two big things of- Key West income now coming up. I’m warning you, a little recession is coming in for Key West prospet- ity. There is plenty’ of money im the town right now but the city is settling back fast with naval units moving out of town. We have only one big naval unit left in twon and if it should ever go, Key West would really be dropped back without an ade- quate tourist and yachting pro- gram. The Central Civic group is working on fishing and tour- ist projects right now .but have not taken up the question of yachting as yet. We have a long, long road to travel to catch up to other tourist cities in Florida | which are stepping out smartly right now. Health this week cautioned that Poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis)| is on the increase in Florida this year and urges parents to observe every precautionary measure against the disease. Dr. Edwin G. Riley, state epidemiologist, said there is not yet cause for alarm, but that there is a consid- erable increase of cases as com- pared with last year and that/ every care should be exercises. Warm Weather Disease In 1945, 24 cases were reported over the state by the end of the first week in May. This year, however, 86 cases were on record for the same period and’ more have been noted since then. Up to the first week in May, eases of polio had been reported from Bay, Brevard, Broward, ‘Columbia, Dade, Duval, Escam- bia and Glades counties. Also from Hillsborough, Orange, Os- ceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota and Volusia counties. Counties with the highest inci- dence are Dade 42, Palm Beach 20, Brevard 7, Hillsborough 7 and Polk 5. Dr. Riley says that both this and last year the disease is show- ing up considerably ahead of the; universally accepted “polio sea- son”. Ordinarily polio is more prevalent in the midsummer months, but that was not true Tast year and certainly not this season. He pointed out, how- ever, that it is definitely a WARM WEATHER disease, and that Florida, because of her climate, | might therefore be expected to be among the first to report an outcrop of the. disease. Precautionary Measures ~ Here’s. a list of precautionary measures: —Guard against exertion. not overwork.

The St. John river has been floating pulpwood to the mill dam at Keegan, two miles west of Van Buren, for several weeks, but rivermen and lumber workers ; say the drive is nothing as it was lin the “old days”.

In this way every child may be closely inspected. —Any child showing abnormal- ity should be placed. under health authorities once. =-It is strongly urged that all e houses be. screened against fijes: Very little is: known about; ig; but the fact has been ‘es- blished that the germs are con- tained in the secretion from the hose and throat. Bowel discharges have also. been found. to contain the infectious agent. . The virus has definitely been associated Therefore, every pre- caution is urged to control the insect. known to carry other dis- eases; typhoid fever, for instance. Isolation of sick children is important. Children known to have been exposed to disease should be quarantined for at le: 14 days from the date of contact. | Again Dr. Riley warns that the| manner in which the polio germ | is spread from one to another is| actually not known, therefore, | every possible channel of spread- ing the disease should be con-} trolled.

No amount of repentence or his part could retract the damag« he has created in the minds of some people. ‘ As you state, it will require a civil court to decide the final de cision; and I feel confident that our Florida law, which states, “Nc person shall be imprisoned for debt except in the case of fraud’ (and my standing in the com. munity will prove that I have always met my obligation when humanly possible) will prove mc to be right. i W.
